Karen Osburn’s “Music for All Seasons” Album

Karen Osburn’s new “Music for All Seasons” album includes two incredible CDs entitled “Love Songs” and “Christmas Songs”. These new CDs give old and new country music fans alike an outstanding opportunity to enjoy material written by an award-winning recording artist. The “Music of All Seasons” album represents the peak of Karen Osburn’s singing, songwriting, production, and recording career. Best of all, almost every song on these two CDs is a new creation.

Karen's “Christmas Songs” CD showcases nine new songs designed to brighten your holidays. Karen’s songs may shed new light or bring more enjoyment than the traditional songs that have been around for years and even decades.

One or more of these selections should become a standard country Christmas song in the years to come. In particular, "Grandma's House" won Karen two awards for "Songwriter of the Year", one awarded by the Colorado Country Music Hall of Fame in 2006 and the second awarded by the Buster Doss Association, Nashville, Tennessee, also for Song of the Year in 2006.

Whether it is shopping for presents, decorating our tree, watching it snow, dancing to her Christmas music, or visiting "Grandma's House", Karen's Christmas Album offers new seasonal music for everyone to enjoy.

The “Love Songs” CD includes several songs representing personal and friends’ encounters which gave Karen her inspiration. She has an exceptional ability to take those fragments and ideas and develop them into a dreamy but meaningful love story through her lyrics and melodies.

One such experience blossomed into the beautiful “A Man I Love”. Karen’s memories also helped her to compose the Christmas CD, with the annual visits to her "Grandma's House" when she was a little girl, inspiring a country classic Christmas story turned into song.

The “Love Song” CD, along with the “Christmas Songs”, gives everyone a grand opportunity to enjoy the Christmas season and experience the highs and lows of being in love at the same time.

The “Love Songs” CD not only includes romantic love songs, like the “A Man I Love”, but also includes songs describing the pain and loneliness of falling out of love, as in “Forgive and Forget” and “I Need Your Romance”. Both types of songs should appeal to music lovers across the spectrum.
